Academeum's A Level courses offer a structured and enriching learning experience that blends scheduled teaching hours with independent study.
 

Scheduled Teaching Hours

Each week during semesters, students participate in four hours of live online seminars per A Level subject, typically divided into two sessions lasting around two-hours, with a short break in the middle.

Each academic year, students will benefit from 180 hours of expert-led instruction per subject. This unparalleled level of quality and quantity in teacher-student contact time surpasses what is typically offered, even by the most prestigious institutions.

Studying online eliminates the need for commuting, maximizing valuable learning time, while our use of technology enhances learning efficiency, organization, and time management. The aim is to make every precious hour count.

Independent Study

Independent study is essential for completing tests and assignments, consolidating knowledge, and mastering skills. While we recommend an average of three hours per week per subject, we understand that each student is unique.
Factors such as age, ability, prior learning, and whether a student is studying the subject at school in parallel can influence the amount of independent study required. It's not just the quantity, but the quality of study time that truly matters.

Vacations offer an excellent opportunity for students to strategically balance their workload. By dedicating extra time during vacations to independent study, especially over the summer, students can alleviate their workload during semesters. We also provide preparatory materials to ensure a strong start before each course commences.

For personalized guidance and recommendations, please contact us. We develop personalized learning plans for each of our students and keep them regularly under review to ensure continuous progress towards their goals.

Realistic Expectations

At Academeum, we believe in setting realistic expectations while highlighting the incredible rewards that come with dedication and hard work. We recognize that young people today have many choices about how to spend their time, and we want to help them make informed decisions that take into account their wellbeing, abilities, and future goals.

While A Levels require considerable commitment, the benefits of investing time in learning extend far beyond exam results. This is especially true when we consider the increasing competitiveness of university admissions and the rapidly evolving nature of the future job market, which is already being reshaped by automation and AI.

Our courses equip students with essential skills for university and their future careers, ensuring that they are not just prepared for the future but equipped to actively shape it.

 

These skills include:

• Adaptability and Resilience: Thriving in a competitive environment, coping with challengers, and adapting to change.

• Mental Agility: Thinking critically, problem-solving, and making informed decisions.

• Focus and time management: Crucial for balancing multiple commitments and achieving goals efficiently.

• Communication and Intercultural Awareness: Building strong relationships and collaborating effectively in international settings.

Supporting Success

At Academeum, success is about more than academic excellence. We understand that mental and physical wellbeing are essential not only for learning, but also for personal fulfillment and overall life satisfaction.
Effective learning happens when students are not only academically engaged and challenged, but also happy, thriving, and connected to a supportive network. Academeum's global community is a place where students feel connected, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Students from different countries connect, collaborate, and learn from one another.
We’re committed to supporting our students every step of the way. This includes one-on-one mentoring, expert guidance on time management and effective learning strategies, and resources for cultivating focus, managing stress, and developing healthy lifestyle habits.

A Level students can contact teachers and peers via seminar group chats, and both students and parents benefit from having a dedicated point of contact to access support whenever they need it. We enable students to learn together through through our peer-to-peer learning program and group projects, creating a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

Exam results matter, but the joy of learning is equally important. We encourage students to take learning beyond the classroom, forming clubs and societies based on shared interests, whether their purpose is academic, philanthropic, or just for fun.

One-to-one Tutorials

One-to-one Tutorial can be arranged to supplement the tuition offered in our A Level courses. These tutorials can focus on various areas, including mentoring, addressing individual academic needs, providing extra support for non-native English speakers, offering introductory courses for those preparing for A Level studies, and assisting with university entrance exams.

Beyond

Academic progress involves more than just dedicated study time; it requires mastering effective study techniques. Our Beyond program expands learning beyond the standard curriculum, equipping students with the essential skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their current and future studies.

Beyond includes classes in study skills, interdisciplinary learning, and critical thinking, designed to help students develop their skills across a wide range of areas. All of Academeum's Beyond classes can be combined with our A Level courses and are open to all students, whether they are studying A Levels with us or not.
